A poem written by an angel father(Reference from footprints newsletter)

They ask "How's your wife?"
But they don't understand.
He also affected my life.

I picture him on a football team.
Who knows,maybe number 13
But now it's all just a dream.

I'm not supposed to show any
emotions or cry
I'm supposed to take it like a man
But sometimes I wish I could die.

I'll never know the bruised knee
His first kiss or broken heart
Not ever "Dad,can I have the car key?"

I'm expected to keep all of this
bottle up inside.
That wasn't just fetal tissue or a
nonviable pregnancy.
He was my only son that died.

But life continues,although I am
sad.
You'll never understand my pain
or tear in my eyes
Because to you

I'm just the Dad.
